Happy Birthday Dr. King

[Arwen]

I think the place where he is now, he will probably have best things to do than thinking about his past life's birthday, but I'm sure he appreciates

Great quote girlie. It makes you think about how you live your life and if you can live with avoiding getting involved. My dad always said if you stand by idle and silent when things are wrong, then you are in effect agreeing.

Happy Birthday MLK.

Your dad is a wise man. I wholeheartedly agree.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

In remembrance.

May his light always live on in those of us who believe in his dream. The following is probably my favorite MLK quote.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
~
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.​

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.​

Every time that I read this quote, it saddens me. There is so much truth in his words, and they still apply today. We need to still be fighting for his dream and not silently standing by as we watch injustices occur to our fellow man. God rest his soul.​

Co-sign!! People should stand up for what is right for the good of everyone!!!
RIP MLK!!

It would be hard to fill the shoes of a man like Dr.King,men like Adam Clayton Powell Jr.,Frederick Douglas,Malcolm X,Walter White,and many others who fought for Civil Rights in the US. They paid the ultimate price either physical,social,financial, or all three to accomplish that goal.
